Lichess Elimination Tournament

Hello everyone!

As you might know, lichess only has arena style tournaments right now, and while they are fun to play in, I am thinking about organizing something a little different. Using the tournament making site challonge, I can make an elimination championship with a group stage. An event like this would help the site gain some publicity, as I would probably live stream this event, and it can be a fun new experience for all. What do you guys think? If we can get enough support for this, Ill definitely make it happen!
Make it bigger, some thoughts.

1. Lichess Blitz Olympics, TC 3+2
2. 6 players per country, 2 alternates, only 4 players per pairing
3. Each country should create a federation team
4. These federations will register to the Lichess Tournament Olympic Organizer
5. Players should be a member of the federation team to be able to play representing their federation
6. Perhaps a swiss system
7. Does challonge supports swiss?
8. Sponsors?
9. Prizes?
10. Federation registration fees to support Lichess?
